Champion of the Spelling Bee Buzz and Multiplication Quiz of grade 4

I am Ayesha Lara Mirshan Salih from grade 4. I am this year’s Champion of the Spelling Bee Buzz and Multiplication Quiz of grade 4.

When my name was announced as the winner, I felt very surprised and proud. I had worked really hard, so hearing my name made me feel jubilant. It was one of the best moments ever.

It took me hours of daily practice for the multiplication quiz. I solved an abundance of problems, did quick mental math and played online math games.

For the spelling bee, I learned the word list, researched synonyms and antonyms. Learned the meanings of the words and used them in forming sentences. I turned spelling into a fun game.

My parents helped me by assessing and preparing worksheets for me to practice. They always encourage me to do my best.

In spelling bee buzzer round, it was a bit challenging to press the buzzer button fast enough. Sometimes I knew the answer, but one of my friends pressed first. It was a little frustrating, but I stayed focused and waited for the next question. I learned that speed is very important, but staying calm matters too.

My advice to others is to never give up and keep practicing. Even if it feels hard at first, don’t give up. Always believe in yourself and work hard to achieve your goals.

I am grateful for the support from my parents, teachers and close friends throughout the journey. I am really thankful to the school for doing these activities, especially because all students in the grade could join. I learned a lot from them, and I feel my mental math and English have improved. I think it helped all the students, not just me.

These achievements taught me that success comes from a lot of hard work, not luck. I am proud to be a champion, but even more proud of the hard work I did. I am excited to keep learning and aiming higher, Insha Allah.
